May 8, 1942, Battle of the Coral Sea. Lieutenant Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa from Scouting Squadron FIVE (VS-5) in an SBD Dauntless, is in patrol over the aircraft carrier U.S.S. YORKTOWN (CV-5). Fate has a surprise for Vejtasa and his rear gunner, Radioman 3rd Class Frank B Wood, as they are forced to face off in battle against the deadly Zero. Not one, but 3 of them. The chances of the relatively slow bomber surviving the clash are extremely slim. There can only be one winner in this one-sided battle, but despite the odds, can the Dauntless prevail?

Swede Vejtasa is a madman facing three Zeros in a friggin Bomber. I remember this from History Channel's Dogfights in their "Long Odds" episode (Bombers vs Fighters) and as one pilot said, they sit on thr shoulders of giants like Swede Vejtasa purely because of the unbelievable feats they did in their service. There are differences on the plots from that episode as the collision from the third Zero on Dogfights was frontal while here, they had a collision while performing a "Flat Scissors" maneuver. Anyway. Details aside. I loved every bit of this... And seriously excited about the "To be Continued" on the end credits. 😁

@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844 3 ай бұрын

I understand that, after being changed to manning a fighter (F4F Wildcat), he managed Ace in a Day - with a couple to spare. In the end, Vejtasa won the Navy Cross both for dive bombing and aerial combat - the only pilot to do so.

I am perplexed. If this is the same incident covered by Dogfights it was presented very differently like a series of head on attacks and sharp 180° turns by both Vejtasa and the Zeroes. Even the mid air collision with the last Zero was different as during a head on attack, not scissors. I wonder who got it right.

@@SunSailandSand The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) (until 1975 CVAN-65) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1961, the ship was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and for many years the largest warship in the world. Even after being replaced by the USS Nimitz as the largest warship in 1975, she was still the longest warship in the world at 342.3 meters. The Enterprise was the eighth ship and second aircraft carrier of that name in the US Navy, after the World War II Enterprise. She was the first and only of a class of aircraft carriers originally planned to consist of six ships, which were not built for cost reasons. The Enterprise served for more than 50 years[1] and took part in all major US Navy operations, including the naval blockade of Cuba, the Vietnam War and the First Gulf War. More recently, it also took part in the war on international terrorism and the Iraq War. On December 1, 2012, the Enterprise was deactivated and finally decommissioned on February 3, 2017.[2] She was replaced by USS Gerald R. Ford, commissioned on July 22, 2017.[3][4] The name of the ship will in the future be adopted by the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-80), which is currently under construction.

At the beginning of WWII, the zero one of the best planes, but it was designed in such a way, improvements couldn't be installed _(realistically speaking)_ the allied planes got better and better and eventually they surpasssed the Zero. It also helped that the U.S. had the natural resources and manufacturing capability that Japan didn't. We were able to build planes meant specifically to fight the Zero, like the Corsair. Japan couldn't keep up with our industry and engineering. Interestingly, the Zero couldn't be upgraded like our F-22 currently. _(But the F-35 can.)_ In reality, it's both.

As a marine I took a lot of pride in knowing my history. After all who is he who does not know his history or what he fights for? I get the point on the Corsair. But let's be realistic. The F22 Raptor is the best fighter aircraft ever made and the one negative thing about the Marines is we use the Super Hornet since the F22 is not a carrier capable aircraft. But it is without a doubt deadlier than the upcoming F35B or C carrier models. Navy joke is we would fly F35s today but they're down for maintenance.

@carltonace1606 2 ай бұрын

It wasn't the Zeke that made General Kenny scream for P-38s, but rather the Tony. The IJA had the benefit of not being limited to carrier capable aircraft, but could field more capable fighters. IJN was sort of stuck. The Zeke may have been well ahead of it's time, but it struggled even with the F4F with the F4F having a surprisingly better kill ratio. But then, the thing was nigh indestructible, and the Zeke had sacrificied everything for range and speed, and so was rather vulnerable. Interestingly the F6F, F4U, and P-47 are all cousins in some sense. They all had the same powerplant. F6F had better attributes for naval operations though. Shorter nose, better visibility, and more stable flight characteristics until they solved the F4U's left wing stalls.

Sometimes you just don't have a choice and it's fight to survive. That Dauntless didn't have the speed to escape. The zeros would have shot them up from behind while trying to escape.

The book, "The First Team" highlights the unsung heroes. Many enlisted pilots in their late 20s, who were more mature, steady, held the line. The shortage of fighters up through Guadalcanal meant SBDs were pressed into service as carrier combat air patrol. The SBD, free of bomb weight, was still slow BUT very maneuverable, particularly with judicious use of flaps in a turn twin front .50cal and twin .30cal aft meant it could be a formidable opponent in skilled hands. The Zeroes had no radios at the time so coordinating attacks was hard.

Yarn hub many others have covered the story, but none of them did such a fantastic job at sliding into the message from the sponsor. That was a slick maneuver. Keep it up so we can see how long it takes before you become an ace.

Dauntlesses can be maneuverable dogfighter if you use combat flaps in a turning engagements. Also sbd dauntless had the advantage againts the zero in terms of dive speed,armor plating,and deadly two mounted nose 50 cals that could easily shred and burn the fragile a6m2 zero into flames.

I thought the SBD's carried NOTHING above their engine cowling or at the most a single .30 cal for any head on entanglement. Just learned something new today...

Absolutely amazing! Great story, great visuals, and great narration! Just one small suggestion for the next one! Among a perfect animation like this, there will always be one or two small gripes, so here’s my constructive criticism: In the slow motion scene of the Zero firing it’s 20mms, the vortex effects suddenly spawn in and even have their tails appear behind the muzzle of the cannon. I suggest that the effect should be tied to every bullet permanently, but have the alpha tied to a gradient in the coordinate space of the airplane. That way, they smoothly appear trailing the bullet. Because of the conical shape you already have for the model, it would even expand as the bullet flies away! In blender (assuming that’s the software of choice), this would be done with a texture coordinate, set to object (use the eye dropper to select the zero), a vector transformation node, a color ramp, and plugging it all into the alpha channel of the vortex effect (you already have a semi transparent model, so no need to change the material settings) Cheers, and thank you for making such amazing content!
